New training area
The army goes diving on Lake Neufeld
A modern water training area is being built on Lake Neufeld at a cost of 2.5 million euros. The ground-breaking ceremony for the construction took place with the Minister of Defense at the end of the season.
The high season on Lake Neufeld has come to an end. Now mostly only water sports enthusiasts venture into the waters. The solemn exception was the ground-breaking ceremony for a modern training area for divers on Wednesday afternoon. The patrons were the Armed Forces Directorate for Infrastructure and the Hunting Command. Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner and Mayor Michael Lampel were among those who took up the spade.
Cost: 2.5 million euros
The new diving base will cover 545 square meters and have a boat garage with a water depth of one meter. The construction costs amount to 2.5 million euros. "With this project, the needs of the special forces and the highly trained divers of the Austrian Armed Forces are being taken into account in particular," explained the Minister of Defense. "The building is planned in such a way that up to 40 people can be present at the same time. It will be built in solid construction.
Focus on sustainability
The roofs are designed as flat roofs and are partly greened or designed as unused areas with gravel. The new wooden jetty, which will lead directly into the lake, is particularly noteworthy," say the planners. Sustainability plays a key role in the project. "For example, wood will be used for the jetty and surface and roof water will seep away directly on site," they say.
Step towards modernization
The water from the lakeside roof terrace is discharged into Lake Neufeld in a controlled manner. In addition, the diving base is to be equipped with a high-speed communication infrastructure. A car parking area and fences are planned for the outdoor area. "The construction project represents an important step towards modernizing the Neufelder See water training area," it is emphasized. Completion is planned for May 2025.
